Thanks for the response to my original post on Wasps in my trees, John. Since that post I have learned that I have boring beetles in my two oak trees. I have observed an adult beetle and larvae as well. I've noticed several holes in the trunks.
Since indication is that there are some inside the tree, can they be treated or stopped at this point? My trees are still green at the moment, but the lower portions of the bark is flaking off, and portions of the heartwood are visible and don't look great to me. The trees are approximately 6-8" in diameter and 15' tall.
I've reviewed most every post on this sight, in addition to hunting all over the web. I would really appreciate hearing any experiences with this.
